  • Zippers replaced
  • Formalwear and gowns
  • Minor or major
La Mar alterations service
Bring it in or try it on

Fitted by a person, at no extra charge

Bring your clothes in and tell us what you need, or try the garment on here and let our seamstress pin it on you. The fitting itself costs nothing, and it is the difference between a hem that hangs right and one that does not.

We handle everything from a suit coat to a formal gown. Minor or major repairs, zippers replaced, linings rebuilt. Because the work happens in the same building as the cleaning, we can clean and alter in one visit.

  • Hems on trousers, skirts and dresses
  • Taking in and letting out
  • Sleeve and shoulder adjustments
  • Zipper replacement
  • Lining repair and replacement
  • Gowns and formalwear

Before you book

Questions we get asked

Do you charge for the fitting?

No. Try the garment on here and our seamstress will fit you at no extra charge.

How long do alterations take?

Simple hems are usually a few days. Gowns and structured tailoring take longer and we will give you a date up front.

Can you replace a zipper?

Yes, on trousers, jackets, dresses and boots.

Do you alter wedding and formal gowns?

Yes. Bring the shoes you will wear on the day so the hem is right.

Need something to actually fit

Add alterations to a free pickup, or call and we will tell you what is possible before you come in.
